I see the Senator from Pennsylvania, my old friend Mr. Toomey, standing up like he wants to offer something. There are a couple of us who want to have a colloquy for a few minutes, Senator Durbin, Senator Blumenthal and myself, on an issue involving veterans and veterans' financial assistance for school. I do not want to get in the way of Senator Toomey if he has something he wants to offer, just as long as it does not take forever. May I ask a question through the Presiding Officer? What do you think he has to offer and for how long? The PRESIDING OFFICER. I would direct the question to the Senator from Pennsylvania.
